They are only supporting this manga because it's 100% Sasuke and Sakura material. Even old fans who never cared about the pairing are reading the Manga.
SS fans only cares about Sasuke, Sakura and Sarada. Uchiha Family Hardly has any focus in Boruto so they give ZERO support for Boruto story.Also nH fans don't have any reason to support Boruto. Hinata and nH doesn't have any importance either. No wonder why Boruto is a flop. Ikemoto cant even please the few fanbases who are still alive.Sasuke losing his Rinnegan just to be nerfed and Naruto losing Kurama is the last nail in the coffin.
...People are reading the two side manga because they look-like a Naruto manga; something Ikemoto refuses to either do or understand. The Sasuke manga is doing better because of SS fans doesn't mean the Mirai manga is doing poorly. You keep seeming to forget that one exist for some reason.
The anime has been held up by every once and a while doing a Uchiha family arc to support their ratings and using Naruto's legacy to get good deals on it distribution. Mostly the latter.
...Boruto is nH's son and the sequel to their desired parings. Just because Ikemoto has done nothing...which sums up the entire Boruto manga for the past 6 years; doesn't means the anime hasn't...Have nH fan been systematically killed in the last few year? I thought even they were losing interest, I didn't realize they were being killed off.
All Sasuke lost was his stupid over used swap places power.
